...Class Day Committee yesterday afternoon met the Corporation Committee for a final discussion of the "Tree" matter. We previously understood that their chief objection was in regard to seats, but we now find that they have taken a decided stand against any form of scrimmage whatever. In this they are unanimous, and believe that the Corporation as a whole fully back them up in all their ideas.

...possibility that Columbia is to have no crew this year has caused great excitement in the college.

...heat of the latter part of June is not the time for a pleasure-trip to Boston. Consequently if such a trip is undertaken by Seniors' friends it must be with the sole purpose of witnessing the Class Day exercises. Cases might be imagined, however, where families would find it impossible to remain for three days, for this purpose alone, in a Boston hotel. Furthermore, business and professional men-graduates-from Boston or from a distance, would in many instances be unable to spare three days to see exactly what they now see in one. These would all be forced...
